San Antonio — When author Joe Nick Patoski screened the short trailer to “Doug Sahm: All About the Groove,” his unfinished documentary project, in Austin last month, it was standing room only. It's testament to the enduring appeal of the San Antonio musician (below) who led the Sir Douglas Quintet and Texas Tornados and is beloved for pioneering Tex-Mex rock and country-rock with Augie Meyers more than 50 years ago. “It totally amazes me after so many years,” Meyers said. Sahm (right) died in November 1999. Patoski and San Antonio Express-News music columnist Jim Beal Jr. will lead a panel discussion after Sunday's screening, with guests to include Meyers and Shawn Sahm.
